Never heard of a country that is straight vegetarian and is forbidden to eat any meat.
As far as i know India is ranked top in the world with 38% of the total population being vegetarians.
No religion I know of forbids eating meat
Islam forbids eating pork.
It's just pork not meat in general.
The pork example also applies in this case... would you kill and eat pig meat if you're starving in the forest with your friends and find a pig close by?
I believe the answer would be yes for many in the country that bans the meat.. It's moral to eat it with your friends and survive than to let everyone starve to death due to the country's law on pork. This can be easily proven to be a right decision in any just court.
ofc. i totally agree with you. if i had to i would eat every pig in country.
meanwhile in India ...
"Four Muslims in India have been killed by predominantly Hindu mobs after they were suspected of either eating beef or slaughtering a cow, considered sacred by the country's majority Hindus."
